The Higher Education Endowment Fund Advisory Board, are investigating what role they, and the HEEF, can play in advancing philanthropy in the higher education sector. The 2007 consultation paper featured several questions on the role of philanthropy in the HEEF context.
In the first instance, only unconditional gifts will be able to be accepted to the HEEF. Gifts will be treated as tax deductible under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
For further information on donating to the HEEF, please contact the HEEF team in the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations at: heef@dest.gov.au
